Within a month GPZ will go down. I canceled it a week ago.

Reasons:
Old hardwareOutrunning OS support (Windows 2003 Server)Untrustworthy carriersRunning costs (specially after Zapper and Grimmwolf no longer share costs)

I expect Worldstream.nl will take down the server on January 12th.

Sad news indeed, it's a great server and definitely well used.

It's a shame it's going down but I can only thank you (and Grimm and Zapper) for all the effort put into it so people can play Allegiance.

I often bitched about the packet loss and lag, but I do appreciate the contribution to the community that the server made. A lot of euros probably would not have bothered if not for that server. Thanks PKK and co!

Hopefully a new one will rise from the ashes.

Alot of europeans are gonna be pissed :lol:

But in all honesty it was a great server, I'm one of the lucky few who get good pings in all 3 servers, in GPZ only a ping of 130, and everywhere else like 60 with no packet loss.

We won't be pissed, we just need a new euro server. I'm hoping pkk will still run it as he's the expert, we just need to come up with the funding. :cool:

I am sorry to see it go, but I cannot afford paying for it anymore. :(
